The Rights Issue is thus oversubscribed, and Vimian will receive proceeds amounting to approximately SEK 1,633 million before issue costs.
- The outcome shows that 60,940,208 ordinary shares, corresponding to approximately 93 per cent of the shares offered in the Rights Issue, have been subscribed for with subscription rights. The remaining 4,362,416 ordinary shares that were not subscribed for with subscription rights have been allocated to those who have subscribed for shares without subscription rights in accordance with the principles set out in the prospectus.
